Traditions of a twelve tribe ideal social order can be found worldwide, from antiquity to the 19th C, from Iceland to Madagascar, from Europe to the East.  Each tribe corresponded to one of the signs of the zodiac.  These tribes are associated with a 'Golden Age,' in which civilisation manifested the spiritual values of primal human nature.

The best known tribes are the twelve tribes of Israel, under King Solomon, but there have been many others which are described in this book for the first time, together with the musical, mythological and astronomical enchantments which kept these societies in harmony with the cosmos.

New light is shed on many ancient mysteries: the aligned St Michael sanctuaries of Europe, the astrological landscapes of Ancient Greece, and the true site and function of the Temple at Jerusalem.  The symbolic geometry of the Temple's foundation  unites the Temple and the Christian holy places within one great sanctuary.

These subjects are not only of antiquarian interest but reveal the true ancient code of knowledge which produced harmony between nature and humanity, and are therefore of as much interest today as they were in the past.

John Michell is especially known for  The New View Over Atlantis, and similar books which have illuminated the science, culture and wisdom of past civilisations.

Christine Rhone is an artist and writer with a special interest in landscape symbolism.  Developments of this subject in France are known to English readers through her translation of writers such as Jean Richet, whose thesis on the astrological design of landscape is described in this book.
